Fermière à Montfaucon (1967)
Country: FR
Technical: col 13m
Director: Éric Rohmer
Cast: Monique Sendron
Synopsis:
We follow the activities of a farmer's wife in the Franche-Comté across the seasons, including getting involved in local politics.
Review:
Rohmer's character observes and his subject provides post-prod voiceover, commenting on the need to be organised, and the solitariness of her life except when lending a hand at harvest time; the film comes to a sudden stop with her attending council meetings. As a socio-historic document valuable, though of limited interest as a piece of cinema. For many French farmers little will have changed.
